Finally!




How long have I been promising a photo of the blue & white quilt? It's so huge it will take 2 shots! This one is off to a professional quilter today because I just can't imagine handling one this size myself. In fact, it's larger than my arms could reach on the biggest bulletin board I could find, so the "southern end" with the penguins is out of shot. This was a drafting and math extravaganza. It'll be great to see it on my son's bed in a couple months.

Made a purse, too


Recently I also made this quilted purse. The fabric is the "In The Begining" panel from the Folklorica line. The pattern name is not with me as I write, but some will recognize it by the distinctive use of curtain grommets (which, by the way, are not hard to put in).
